Flavors at the Market continues with another strawberry demonstration from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

Margaret O’Neill, program director of Friends of the Public Market, will offer samples and talk about strawberry rhubarb compote. The demonstration series is a partnership between the Rochester Public Market, Democrat and Chronicle and FlavorsofRochester.com runs every Saturday through September by the Public Market office.

O’Neill calls the compote — basically stewed fruit — a “marriage” between rhubarb and strawberries, both at peak season right now. Here’s what O’Neill says about the recipe:

The beauty of this compote is that it can be used in so many ways:

• Try it warm over ice cream or frozen yogurt.

• Layer with yogurt for a simple breakfast or healthy snack.

• Chill compote and fold into freshly whipped cream sweetened with a bit of sugar or honey.

• Top oatmeal with the compote.

• Toast slices of pound cake and top with compote and a dollop of whipped cream.
